2008 turkey hunting range and youth season
The Indiana spring hunting range will remain the same as in 2007 with 91 of 92 counties open to spring turkey hunting. Henry is now the only county closed during the spring turkey season. The DNR released turkeys in Henry County in 2004, but there were several early mortalities among the released birds. "The Henry County closure will allow additional time for these turkey flocks to grow," Backs said.

Six Workshops Teach Management Techniques for Problem Canada Geese
If Canada geese have become a problem on your property, plan to attend one of six programs to be presented in March by the DNR's Urban Wildlife Project.
Various aspects of Canada goose management, including relevant laws, basic biology, and methods to control damage from geese will be covered. A special workshop on proper techniques for egg and nest destruction follows. Such instruction is necessary because if eggs are simply broken or completely removed, there will be no lasting effect; females will just lay another clutch of eggs.

Outdoorsman Exchange - Trading Chases
The idea for Outdoorsman Exchange came about in an instant, but in a way it was sometime in the making – we just didn’t realize it at the time.
For years my husband, Paul, has wanted to go on an elk hunt. I’ve encouraged him many times. He and his brothers talk how they should all go elk hunting out west with their Dad before age took its toll on him. Pursuit of that dream sounded good but there was always the financial reality check that held my husband back. He couldn’t justify spending money on a guided hunting trip and felt a guided trip was the only way to go for a successful hunt. This voice inside kept telling him - we need to save money for more sensible things like kids braces, college funds, etc. Most everyone can relate to these thoughts, unless you’re an heir to a fortune.
